There won't be a postseason for the Mountain Brook Spartans this season.
But the Spartans (2-7) are ready to start the momentum for the 2016 season with a win over Huffman on Friday at Spartan Stadium. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
“We’ve continued to get better each and every week,” sophomore quarterback Hamp Sisson said. “I know it doesn’t show on the scoreboard right now, but we really have been getting better and everyone’s still focused.”
Exposed to more playing time toward the end of the season, Sisson and core of young Spartans are gaining valuable experience that should benefit the team in coming years.
“All our team has grown,” Sisson said. “I think our team is really young right now, so it looks good for our future.
“We’re looking forward to that end-of-the-year, last game of the season,” Sisson said, “and we’re going to go out with a bang.”
The Class 6A Vikings (4-5) are in the playoffs as the fourth-place team in Region 6. Huffman beat the Spartans 26-24 last season and have the edge in the series 13-12.
